Sobek
Sobek looked like a crocodile. He had the head of a crocodile.His body was a mans body. Sobek carried a cross and a staff in his hand. The cross was a circle and then makes a cross. When Sobek carried the cross it meant joy, balance, male, female, energy, life and death.the staff was a stick with the top looking like half a circle.
Neith was the mother. She was known as the goddess of war, and mother of Sobek, known as the crocodile God.Sobek was most popular in the city of Arsinoe.In fact the Greeks renamed the city Crocodilopolis.Ancient Egyptians would keep crocodiles in pools and temples.They ornamented the crocodiles with jewels in honor of there beloved God Sobek.The people of Egypt worshiped Sobek in order to appease him, the crocodiles, to insure the fertility of their crops and people.Sobek was called the Lord of Faiyum and considered the God who controls the water.the Nile was very important to the people of Egypt.Water was necessary for the survival of crops,success of trade,and livelihood of fishing.
It is said that Sobek caught the four sons of Horus, god of the sky, as they emerged from the waters of lotus bloom.
I Sobek will have the biggest temple of them all. It will be 5000 feet high and 5000 feet wide. It will be full of water, crocodiles, and fish for my hunger.I will have 700 busts of me and my mother only. If you are wondering yes i will still protect the people of the Nile.I will still protect the Pharaoh and watch over but i will have the best temple an Egyptian God could want. Vines will grow up the side, waterfalls everywhere.The color shall be blue and green. I will have not only the bravest but also the strongest guards there are to protect me and the people.It will rain but also be sunny. Flowers will grow on the vines that climb up my temple.My tomb will be solid gold, biggest of them all, richest of them all.My statues will be all gold.The biggest statue i will have is of my mother Neith. My temple will be made of marble and granite.
